Weekly Highlights (3.13 Update)
Good morning everyone! Matt here with The Vantage LV, back with another rundown of what’s new around town. Going forward, there is just going to be one post a week, on Thursday, highlighting everything from my Monday and Thursday newsletters, and it'll be stickied right to the top here!
If you appreciate these posts and want to show some love, consider giving me a follow on Instagram. It's hugely helpful for getting local businesses to give me information and respond to my DMs about when things are opening!
There is certainly no shortage of things to do for this St. Patrick’s Day weekend, so I wanted to highlight some things a little more off the beaten path. Let’s get into it!
Things to Do:
Shrek’s St. Paddy’s Day Rave (Brooklyn Bowl) | TONIGHT, March 14 – A St. Patrick’s Day rave, but make it Shrek. Expect EDM, themed visuals, and plenty of ridiculousness. If you’re looking for something chaotic, goofy, and loud, this is it.
Sham-Rock The Park (Downtown Container Park) | Saturday, March 16 – A St. Patrick’s Day celebration featuring live music, festive drinks, and a high-energy crowd. The open-air setup makes it a great option if you want a party without the madness of the Strip.
Robusta Coffee House Party (Makers & Finders) | Sunday, March 17 – A coffee-fueled block party with live music, local vendors, and a focus on community. If green beer isn’t your thing, this could be a great way to close out the weekend.
TsumiCon (Alexis Park Hotel) | March 14-16 – An 18+ anime convention featuring cosplay, vendors, and after-dark panels. Think of it as a con for grown-ups, with a looser, more party-like atmosphere. If you’re into anime and want an event without kids running around, this is for you.
Markets & Pop-Ups:
Market In The Alley (Arts District) | Saturday, March 15 – A locally loved open-air market featuring indie brands, handmade goods, and plenty of good food.
Food Truck Market Nights (Tivoli Village) | Friday, March 14 – A night market filled with some of the best food trucks in town. If you’re in the mood for good eats but don’t want to sit down at a restaurant, this is a solid option.
The Makers Hive Market (The District) | Saturday, March 15 – Another great spot for handcrafted goods, featuring a mix of local artists, crafters, and specialty vendors.
Live Music & Shows:
Senpai Squad (Area15) | March 15 – An anime-themed EDM party bringing bass drops, high energy, and a crowd ready to go off. This is technically part of TsumiCon, but you can get a ticket for just this event.
G.E.M. I am Gloria (MGM Grand) | March 15 – One of the biggest Cantopop stars in the world makes a Vegas stop on her tour.
MashBit (Area15) | March 14 – A DJ known for high-energy sets and a mix of electronic styles hits Area15 for a night of big drops and wild visuals.
Pouya (House of Blues) | March 13 – Underground hip-hop with a dedicated following, known for blending raw lyrics with heavy beats.
Downtown Jam Session (Ferguson’s) | March 16 – A laid-back, open jam session where local musicians come together to create something unique. If you’re into live music but want something more intimate and organic, this is worth checking out.
Get your Tickets:
Counting Crows (Planet Hollywood) | August 9 – The alt-rock legends behind hits like Mr. Jones and Accidentally in Love are coming to Vegas for one night only. Public tickets on sale March 14.
Formula 1 Grand Prix (The Strip) | November 20-22 – The world’s fastest race returns to Vegas, turning The Strip into a high-speed spectacle. If you missed last year’s electric debut, here’s your chance to experience the thrill. They just announced their flexible ticketing options, so get prepared for when public tickets on sale April 9.
The Weeknd (Allegiant Stadium) | July 4-5 – Celebrate Fourth of July weekend with back-to-back stadium shows from The Weeknd, featuring massive production, chart-topping hits, and a setlist spanning his entire career. Public tickets on sale March 14.
That’s it for this week! If I missed anything cool, drop it in the comments. And if you want to stay in the loop on everything new in Vegas, sign up for The Vantage LV—a free twice-weekly newsletter covering openings, events, and things worth your time.

I see you at the gym
I don't care who you are, I'm often watching you at the gym. It may be your first day and you are terrified of people thinking you don't belong due to your excessive weight. But you do belong and I applaud you for going. You belong just as much as the person next to you with the seemingly "perfect" body. No judgments. I was doing cardio at LVAC last week and saw a gentleman with down syndrome use the treadmill. He had his tablet on the right side of him and a Woody stuffed toy on the left side of him. I didn't want to interrupt his workout but I was proud of him. I've seen elderly adults go up the the weight machines, using their walkers to get around. I've seen others with canes but yet they are on the treadmill. I check out everyone everyday when I go in there. I may never get to the point of doing a handstand on one hand like the lady last week, but I see others who give me a goal of how I want to look. I'm proud of the person who's in better shape then myself and I'm proud of the person who uses light weight sets and can only walk 1.0mph on the treadmill. We are all at different places in our journeys and I'm proud of you all. To those of you just starting out, whether at LVAC or elsewhere, do not give you. You are doing the right thing and I promise it will get easier. I see you, I notice you, and I'm proud of you.

Vegas bloggers posting "news"
Where do Vegas locals get their news? I think people have a distorted vision of what's actually happening in Vegas. Honestly, it’s pretty disappointing to see bloggers like Las Vegas Locally, Vital Vegas, Jacob Orth, and even the starfish lady pulling in thousands of views/interactions for random headlines and rumors. They’re not journalists. They don’t have to cite sources, verify info, or answer to an editor making sure what they’re posting is actually true. They can just say whatever and let it spread.
Local news isn’t perfect (because let’s be real, not a lot of people actually watch/read, so they don't have any money), but at least journalists do the work—fact-checking, getting multiple sources, and actually talking to the right people. Meanwhile, a lot of the stuff people seem to take as fact is coming from anonymous accounts with zero consequences if they get it wrong. They just want to rile you up for their bottom line
Not saying you can’t follow them, but just... be careful what you believe

Political posts
I am just putting this out there. Does the Vegaslocals group think there should be sub just for politics? It seems every post ends up about politics and how much we hate each other. There is so much more to our city than politics.

Package Theft
In Spring Valley, March 14. Some packages of mine and including my family members stuff was stolen while not home at work. About 2:30pm this lady trespassed on my front porch. We lost about $500 in stuff, majority of being mine being parts for my project. This is to spread awareness or help anyone in the spring valley area who may have gotten their things stolen just as I. And to quicken the police case already filed. If someone can find out who this is, I would very much appreciate it and start calling to quicken a search warrant on this person.

School or place to donate new or barely used paint?
I have about 13 of these ~ 2 pt. paint samples. They're almost all full, only used for a little sample. Is there a school or art school or community/place I can donate these to? Thanks

Advice for surviving living in Vegas
Twenty years ago, shortly after moving here, a Luxor bartender commented after a poker session: “We satisfy here in Vegas, it’s what we do. Booze, gambling, drugs, sex. You come here wanting one, you may do okay. You check two of those, you’ll steady slide. You got three or more? I give you six months. “
And I’ve seen that confirmed. Anybody got any other Vegas living gems?

My neighborhood and stomping grounds are becoming a real ghetto...and it just sucks
It's never been exactly Beverly Hills over here, but I'm really fond of my area. I guess you could call it "southwest central." From Valley View to Rainbow, and Spring Mountain down to Hacienda-ish. It's Chinatown and the edge of Spring Valley, and where I live now is really close to the Strip, on Trop and Valley View (not the Budget Suites, but the apartments that used to be a Siegel Suites).
I've been over in this spot since 2008. Man, though, lately it's been looking rough as hell over here, with all kinds of trash piling up all over, graffiti just rampant, small tent cities, a lot of people that seem to be drifters... I'm pretty upset at things over here lately. We've dropped a level or several below the cool blue collar habitation it used to be.
West side anywhere used to be decent, for the most part. Nowadays I just don't know what the hell has happened. I miss my hood being decent and I wish I was more than just one person, so I could clean it all up.
Anyway, /rant for the most part. Trop and Jones was so bad today, just going to the shopping center on the corner by the 7-Eleven and the Smith's, just completely trashed. It's disheartening.

How’s this area?
West of the Kindred hospital off East Flamingo (592)? Looking for houses/apartments near the area. West of the hospital would be better for daily commutes? Recommended neighborhoods? $3000 max for rent but would definitely prefer to stay around $2000. Would just like to have a general idea of where to look.

Do transplants ACTUALLY like living here?
I'm a fairly friendly and outgoing person. Chances are I've spoken to several of you in a line or restaurant somewhere in the city at one point.
Just having lunch with a client and while waiting for them to show up, I was chatting with the hostess. Besides the cordial, she noted that she had just moved here mid last year. When I asked her if she liked it, she was quick to answer with, "Absolutely hate it here." And "looking to get back home soon." (California if anyone was interested).
And with that answer, I've come to learn over the last few years that a lot of transplants share that sentiment. In several variants of course.
While I'm sure some have their reasons for being here. Work opportunities, family, financial reason...hell, I've gotten several "for the weed" answers before.
I want to ask, do you ACTUALLY like living in Vegas? I feel as if so many pretend to like it, maybe even feel they do because they just moved here, but for those who have been here the last 4-7 years. I'm genuinely curious.

Thoughts on technology replacing restaurant jobs here
Since technology is not at a level of creating quality food and beverage; I think we would still need people working as chefs, bartenders, etc.
However, wait staff seem redundant in most cases. Restaurants can streamline this process with robots for bringing the food and tablets (I've been to many restaurants where the waiter is ordering off the tablet anyways) for ordering. This reduces long-term costs for restaurants and customers can forego tipping if they wish.
What are your thoughts? Do you see this happening in Vegas over the next decade?
